    When you treat people like shit for years, don’t be surprised if they fight back.

    Israel has constantly held these people under the heel. Which is a bit rich when you think about all the wringing hands and what have you when anyone mentions the holocaust and the hard time Jews got in Europe before WWII.

    I used to think Israel was the hard done by party here, over the last 30 odd years I’ve come to realise Israel are not the shining example of perfection they’d like us all to believe.

      I don’t think there’s any appropriate reason to discuss whether they should or should not have attacked Israel when they chose soft civilian targets. That’s a fucking big no in any realm. Any credibility they may have had just went out the window. Just another fucking group of terrorists now.

        Israel has been going after Palestinian civilians for decades.

        So you also admit Israel is a terrorist state and that they have zero credibility?

          Do you have specific instances of Israel actually targeting civilians when they’re not being used as human shields? They’ve bombed civilian buildings, but usually because Hamas uses those buildings to house weapons. And with roof knocking/alerts, they are at least making some effort to limit collateral damage

          I’m not admitting to anything and I don’t appreciate you attempting to put words into my mouth to fit your worldview.

          The events of the past are not relevant when the events of the current are beyond the boundaries of what’s acceptable to the rest of humanity.

          Anyone who kills innocent people is on my shit list, it doesn’t matter what God they serve, what border they protect, or what color are their skin is, or who they like to fuck.

          Right and wrong don’t give an absolute single fuck about whose side your favorite is.

          The events that we’re talking about here are the events that we’re talking about here.
